From the Organizer
This is our 16th year for this fantastic race which supports our local animal shelter. Knox/Whitley Humane Association (also known as Knox Whitley Animal Shelter) is a nonprofit 501 c 3 charity which houses homeless animals from Whitley Co., Knox Co., and Clay Co. KY and depends on donations to save lives. This 5K and dogwalk help support our vital work to help our communities reduce the number of stray animals and find loving homes. The course is a flat, fast course through a quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic. We are also excited to have chip timing this year by Open Road Race Management! We will also have race day registration and t shirts on race day based on availability. This race is always so much fun and supports a wonderful cause! See you at the race!
